Law --- THE ALPS OF HANNIBAL. By _William John Law_, M.A., formerly Student of Christ Church, Oxford. Two vols. 8vo. 21_s_. "_No one can read the work and not acquire a conviction that, in addition to a thorough grasp of a particular topic, its writer has at command a large store of reading and thought upon many cognate points of ancient history and geography._"--_Quarterly Review_. Liverpool --------- THE LIFE AND ADMINISTRATION OF ROBERT BANKS, SECOND EARL OF LIVERPOOL, K.G. Compiled from Original Family Documents by _Charles Duke Yonge_, Regius Professor of History and English Literature in Queen's College, Belfast; and Author of "The History of the British Navy," "The History of France under the Bourbons," etc. Three vols. 8vo. 42_s_. _Since the time of Lord Burleigh no one, except the second Pitt, ever enjoyed so long a tenure of power; with the same exception, no one ever held office at so critical a time.... Lord Liverpool is the very last minister who has been able fully to carry out his own political views; who has been so strong that in matters of general policy the Opposition could extort no concessions from him which were not sanctioned by his own deliberate judgment. The present work is founded almost entirely on the correspondence left behind him by Lord Liverpool, and now in the possession of Colonel and Lady Catherine Harcourt._ "_Full of information and instruction._"--_Fortnightly Review_.

By the Rev. _Hugh Macmillan_, Author of "Bible Teachings in Nature," etc. Crown 8vo. cloth. 6_s_. "_Botanical knowledge is blended with a love of nature, a pious enthusiasm, and a rich felicity of diction not to be met with in any works of kindred character, if we except those of Hugh Miller._"--_Daily Telegraph_. FOOT-NOTES FROM THE PAGE OF NATURE. With numerous Illustrations. Fcap. 8vo. 5_s_. "_Those who have derived pleasure and profit from the study of flowers and ferns_--_subjects, it is pleasing to find, now everywhere popular_--_by descending lower into the arcana of the vegetable kingdom, will find a still more interesting and delightful field of research in the objects brought under review in the following pages_."--_Preface_.
